the level of accessibility and cooperation at the
agency level. This will also support any findings on
whether the country has systems and procedures for
collecting and monitoring national procurement
information and statistics.
Furthermore, this will show whether the subject
agency gives importance to employee skills,
dedication and proper alignment of its staff to achieve
the objectives laid out in its strategy and the national
policy, and whether any capacity building initiative is
linked to the national development capacity program.
This will also show the degree of professionalism and
knowledge of those responsible for performing
procurement activities at the agency level, so that
specialized procurement jobs have defined skills and
knowledge profiles, continuous efforts are undertaken
to improve the quality of outputs, and constant
monitoring is undertaken to track efficiency in the
performance of standardized duties.
This will show whether the organizational structure
and the internal procurement processes of the subject
agency are adequate to apply the rules and procedures
embodied in the national procurement reform
